What makes the most exciting event of the season? Challenge designers to create a wearable item inspired by a flamingo, add a hunt, photo contest, four DJs, a live band and Cinco de Mayo extravagance for 12 hours!!!
On Saturday, May 3rd from 12 pm until 12 am, The Cafe Society is presenting an amazing 12-hour event in celebration of Cinco de Mayo!
The theme is “Flamingos and Flamencos,” so be sure to put on your Latin Groove and come on down to be a part of this exciting, sizzling-hot fiesta! During the festivities, if you are not too busy salsa dancing into the sunset, you will get the chance to vote in the Flamingo Design Challenge, where prizes will be awarded to the designers who receive the most votes. Come prepared for a full day of fun events, including a sim-wide hunt, an event photo contest, voting for the design entries, flamingo races, four fabulous live DJ’s, and the best live Latin band in SL — *Shamanes* — performing not one — but two — sets!
Come dressed to salsa dance under the tropical sun by day and shake to the sensual Latin grooves on the steamy seaside promenade at night. Afterwards, join us for an exclusive after-party on our glamorous yacht! You will not want to miss this once-in-a-slifetime event. See you there!
